13 SUPERIOR CABLE TECHNOLOGY Since no single cable is best suited for every type of application, Semflex offers a variety of 5 ohm cables carefully designed to meet specific performance/cost requirements. Different cable characteristics (i.e. flexibility, connector retention, torque and crush resistance, stability/repeatability with respect to temperature or flexure, cost, etc.) require special design considerations. Semflex s products lines take advantage of superior cable technology, carefully matching design and construction to specific application needs. Jacket Semflex utilizes a variety of jacket materials which are selected based on cost, flexibility, chemical and environmental considerations. Polyurethane Low temperature rating UV resistant Abrasion resistant Flexible (-65 to 85 C) FEP High temperature rating Chemical resistant Moisture resistant Low smoke Low outgassing (-65 to 2 C) Shielding Semflex provides several outer shield combinations comprised of silver or tin plated copper wire, bare copper or aluminum wire, and foil tapes ranging from 8 to 1% shielding coverage. Each cable is carefully designed to optimize braid design for cable function. Braid coverage is highly dependent on braid angle, number of picks, wire gauge size and number of strands - all of which affect the attenuation, flexibility, and shielding effectiveness of the cable. As a general rule, higher braid coverage yields better shielding and lower attenuation. Lower braid coverage yields better flexibility. Round Braid Lower material cost Most flexible braid option Woven Flat Braid Lower contact resistance between braid wires resulting in lower attenuation Better coverage provides increased shielding effectiveness Smoother conductor for lower VSWR Increased connector retention and torque resistance Helical Flat Braid Improved flexibility and shielding Increased phase stability vs flexure Lower radial torque resistance Wrapped or Folded Foil Polyimide (helical wrap) provides increased mechanical strength, high temp, chemical resistant Polyester (folded) low temp, low strength, lowers contact resistance and attenuation 13

The ultra low density microporous PTFE dielectrics and FEP jackets are engineered to provide the optimum combination of mechanical characteristics and stable electrical performance over temperature extremes. Low loss, phase stability, and shielding effectiveness of >1 db results from combining a helically served flat braid with a 97% coverage round braid. Semflex LA Series Silver Plated Copper Ultra Low Density Microporous PTFE Helically Wrapped Silver Plated Copper Braid Silver Plated Copper Round Braid Extruded FEP Jacket NOTE: Our LA Series published temperature range defines the hot and cold temperature extremes the cable will perform at. This is based on the material properties that are used to construct the LA Series cable. However, there are no implied performance guarantees with respect to rapid temperature excursions between hot and cold extremes in a thermal shock situation. Semflex can not predict the rate of temperature change or the number of temperature excursions our product will experience in all possible customer applications; therefore we do not give a blanket statement of guaranteed product performance for something as strenuous as thermal shock. 17
